A small town in Canada has been invaded by dozens of seals that traveled inland and are now stranded, blocking roads in the community.

Seals were trapped at Roddickton-Bide Arm on the island of Newfoundland.

Posting on Facebook, the force said: "The RCMP and DFO (Department of Fisheries and Oceans) remind the general public that it is illegal to disturb marine mammals and although animals of the wild may appear to be friendly in nature, it is very risky to approach or attempt to capture animals without proper equipment".

The seals also bite, and Fitzgerald said she is anxious about children getting too close.

"They're pitiful to look at".

"It's nearly like they get going in a direction and just keep going, hoping that they're going to eventually find water that way", he said.

"I don't see that there's any way that these seals are going to survive unless [DFO officers] pick them up and literally bring them back to the edge of the ice".
